Oity Ooanoil ?roTldi for Opening f
Myiittr Street.
CONTRACT GOES TO E. A. WICKHAM
Unniilmon Vote of Alilerrurn Award
It to Him oti III II Id of Nix Thon
snml Dollars Tnlk of mi
Injiiiiotloii.
Tho city council at Us matinee session
yesterday decided that tho munclpallty of
Council Hluffs was In sufficiently affluent fi
nancial circumstances to permit of the ex
penditure of 16,000 In tho construction of
a brldgo over Indian Creek, to afford an
opening for Mynster street at Its Junction
with North Main street. Tho contract for
the construction of the bridge on cither
brick, stono or cement founrtntlons, was
awarded to 13. A. WIckham on his bid of
$0,000, by tho unanimous voto of tho alder
men In attendance, Alderman McDonald of
tho Fourth ward being the only absentee.
Tho council will decldo nt tho regular ses
sion Monday ovenlng what kind of" nbutt
monts tho brldgo will bo erected on.
Tho tabulation of tho bids for tho Mynstcr
street bridge, tho city engineer showed tho
following: C. E. H. Campbell, concrete foun
dations, nccordlng to plans and specifica
tions filed by tho city engineer, $6,800; W.
J. P. Weaver, brick -foundations, according
to same plans nnd specifications, $6,f23; E
A. WIckham, either brick, stone or cement
abuttmcnts, according to same plan, $6,000;
C. E. H. Campbell, stcol span bridge on
concroto foundation, according to plans of
his own, $."i,974; eighty-foot steel span
brldgo on steel cylinder piers,, excluslvo of
approaches. $4,200: with approaches,- $4,650;
satno style bridge with wood joists, $3,900,
excluslvo of approaches; with approaches
$4,200.
Ilfforl to Defer Action.
Alderman Hammer suggested that the
awarding of tho contract be deferred for
a few days, until the aldermen could fa
miliarize themselves with tho several plans
and styles of bridges submitted and decide
definitely on the kind of structure they pre
ferred. Ho moved that action be post
poned until tho regular meeting Monday
night, but his motion went a-gllmmerlng
for want of a second.
Alderman 1 Inner failed to see the need
for deferring action, as tho matter had been
beforo tho council sufficiently long for all
of tho aldermen to have made up their
minds. lie moved that the contract be
awarded to WIckham on his bid of $6,000,
nnd that at the meeting Monday night It
bo decided what kind of abuttmcnts should
bo used. This motion wns promptly sec
onded, after Alderman Hrown hnd suggested
that tho council declaro Itself In favor of
foundations constructed of brick.
At this point Alderman Lougee suggested
that nothing would be lost by postponing
tho awarding of tho contrnct until Monday
night, but Contractor WIckham asked that
If ho was to have tho contract, It be given
him 'at once, as there was a strong possibil
ity of the prlco of st,cel, going up, and ho
was desirous of placing his orders with
out further delay and beforo a rise In the
market took place.
On being put to a vote the aldermen prea-
ent voted unanimously for the awarding of
tho contract to WIckham.
Decline to Dlseim Purchase,
Tho plan suggested for opening Mynster
strcot by tho purchase of sufficient ground
on the north side of the creek wns not
oven discussed, although It was 'known that
the property needed for such purposo could
have been purchased for- a sura far lcis
than the cost of erecting a bridge. It has
been Intimated that an Injunction will bo
sought from tho courts to restrain the cltv
from spending this largo sum of money
on a brldgo at this point, which, It Is
claimed. Is not warranted by tho prospoc
tlvn benefits to tho thoroughfare thus to be
opened or to the public generally.
Before convening, tho aldermen took a
rldo over the recently completed paying on
South Sixth stron'.and adopted the assess
ment schedulo as prepared by tho city en
gineer with tho exception of the M. 'A.
Bcero's property at tho corner of Willow
avenue, which wns reduced from $S00 to
$500, tho city bearing tho difference. The
city has also to bear the cost of the paving
opposite tho postofflco and Hayllss park.
The auditor and treasurer wero Instructed
to' lssuo a warrant for $2,749.52 to WIckham
for tho city's proportion of tho cost of the
Improvement.

On motion of Alilormnn Lovott, chairman
of tho committee on pollco and health
Officer Olanr wbb ordared reimbursed J5
for pay deducted last month while absent

were brought up showing that other officers
had been reimbursed and Alderman Lovett
gained his point.
The council adjourned until the regular
monthly mooting Monday night.

'District Conrt.
Tho Kreatcr part of Monday In tho dis
trict court was taken up In securing a Jury
for tho trial of the personal Injury damage
suit of Gideon Sutherland of South Omaha
against tho City of Council Bluffs. This was
duo to the fact that only Jurors residing
outside the city aro permitted to sit In
enses In which the city may be interested,
eltbor plaintiff or defendant. The regular
panel was quickly exhausted and a special
venlro had to be lesued. It was lato In the
afternoon when tho Jury was Impaneled,
and but one witness had been examined
when court ndjourned for tho day. The
suit arises from tho overturning of a car
ryall containing a number of South Omaha
and Omaha people on Broadway near the
trackB of tho Illinois Central railroad in
July, 1900. Sutherland sues for $3,600. One
suit arising from tho same accident, that
of Mrs. J. Rozelle, was decldod in favor of
tho city, but Mrs. Rozello has been granted
a new trial.

PAYS RENT FOR QUARANTINE
Count' Decides thnt Under the Low It
In Liable Will Settle Small
pox Bills.
At the meeting of tho Board of Health
yesterday afternoon City Solicitor Wads
worth submitted his opinion in the matter
of tho liability of the county for tho rent
of premises occupied by persons quaran
tined for smallpox during tho time of quar
antine. Hie opinion was to tho effect that
the county was liable, as tho law contom-
plated the Isolation of affected porsons
whether In their own houses or in the pest
house, and that bb the authorities wero
required under the law to make effectual
provision for the prevention of the spread
of tho disease, the rent of the premises'
of persons so quarantined, where tho occu
pants wero unable to pay themselves, must
bo borne by the county.
This opinion Is far-reaching, as tho law
providing for tho quarantine of persons
affected with contagious diseases makes
no distinction between the character of
disease, vUnder tho ruling of tho city
solicitor, persons quarantined tor aipn
thcrla, scarlet fever, measles or any other
kind of contagious disease could require
tho county to pay their rent while so quar
antined. In accordance with tho opinion of City
Solicitor Wadsworth, the board decided to
recommend for payment tho bills pre
sented for rent of houses occupied by
smallpox patients.
Tho other business before tho board was
purely routine and of. no especial Interest.

fee Us to Consolidate Convention.
Harry Brown, chairman of the repub
lican city central committee. Is trying to
arrango matters to have one convention
for the nomination of candidates for the
school board and city offices, also one sot
of primaries to select delegates to tho
convention.
Tho school election will bo Monday, March
10, and tho city election Monday, March
31. It hae been suggested that the pri
maries be held either Friday, February
28, or Saturday, March 1, and the conven
tion on cither tho Tuesday or Wednesday
following. This would entail rather a long
campaign for tho candidates for the city
offices, but it would save holding two sepa
rate conventions.
The nomination of ward aldermen Is
made at tho ward caucuses and, accord
ing to the foregoing arrangement, these
caucuses would bo held on the Saturday
night following tho convention. The nomi
nations for two aldcrmon-at-large would
be made by the city convention.
